Vemdalsslalom
Brand Film
2018
CO-DIRECTOR / EDITOR / COLOURIST
One of our regular cinematographers at CINEMÂCHÉ and friend Vivyan Madigan enjoyed a year-long sojourn in Sweden. While there he filmed various projects, sending them back to me to edit and grade. I think this one was the best of the lot. He gave me free reign to do as I pleased and for this piece I decided I really wanted to create more of a psychological art piece rather than just a classic skiing video. Vemdalsslalom is the biggest U16 skiing event in Sweden. On the surface that might not sound that impressive, but as soon as a skier is sixteen they are classed in the sporting world as adults and must compete against athletes in their twenties or older. This event, which features U12, U14 and U16 age groups, is a big deal in Sweden. Over the course of three days nearly 800 different skiers will compete and there is a lot of pressure to perform. Utilising multiple athletes, I sought to capture a snapshot of the atmosphere and emotion of a single run.
